Augsburg’s first choice striker Caiuby is still out. With the great goal he scored mid-week, Ji Dong-Won should start again this weekend too. Hopefully he can score once more against Bayern Munich.

Koo Ja-Cheol missed a PK this week, Thomas Muller also missed a PK in this game too. So don’t feel too bad Koo. As usual Koo Ja-Cheol should start for Augsburg. They really need a win as they haven’t won a game in ages.

Son Heung-Min has been a vital player for the Spurs these days, he should start against Leicester City. (More goals please Sonny)

Lee Chung-Yong hasn’t been getting playing time these last couple of games. He should make bench again.

Congratulations to Park Joo-Ho for finally starting last week. But he was quite poor so he was eventually subbed off. Borussia Dortmund’s first choice left back Marcel Schmelzer is still out, I expect Park Joo-Ho to make reserves this weekend.

Suk Hyun-Jun’s Trabzonspor finally won last week. Although he didn’t start. I expect Suk Hyun-Jun to either start or make the bench this week against Rizepor.

Kim Jin-Su hasn’t starting any league games and made no bench appearances this season. I expect it to be the same this week too.

Ki Sung-Yueng had a decent game last week against Watford. He should start this week against Stoke City.

EXTRA TIME: Tavern owner intruding on Nicole’s post: Korea FA CUP results in as midweek semifinals wrapped up and here are the Semifinal scorelines in case you missed it:

Ulsan 1 : 3 Suwon

Wild comeback for Suwon Bluewings as they came back from a 1:0 deficit to remarkably score 3 in the final minutes of regulation time! Suwon’s Brazilian player Jonathan equalized in the 81st minute, then into stoppage time, scored a double 2 minutes in -followed by Kwon Chang-hoon putting the game away with Suwon’s 3rd and final goal in the 94th minute. Utter disbelief for Horangi supporters who stormed the team bus post match:

I believe Yoon Jung-Hwan’s contract is set to expire without renewal…

FC Seoul 1 : 0 Bucheon 1995

Last July Bucheon turned in a giant killer performance to knock out Jeonbuk 2:3 in the QF to make it to Seoul for the semis. They couldn’t do it again as Dejan notched Seoul the lone goal to proceed to the title match.

So it’s a SUPERMATCH FA CUP FINAL!

The 2 leg title matches will be November 3oth and December 3

BTW, due to K-League team performances throughout the Asian Champions League + National team results, this happened:

The #KLeague also remains top of the domestic league coefficient, aided by strong performances by Seoul and Jeonbuk in this year’s #ACL2016.

LAST but not least: Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels won the WK League Championship, their 4th title in a row with a 4-0 result in a 2nd leg victory over cross town rivals Incheon Daekyo (first leg 0-0). Congratulations!! Read the KFA’s match report here.
